Hi,

I can't marry you. You are illicit for me. Correct?


Thanks in advance

This would be correct:

I can't marry you. It would be illicit (for me).

But it's not something you should expect to hear very often.

IMO it might be:

I can't marry you. You are ill-matched about me.

"Ill-matched" does not mean the same as "illicit". Also, "about" is not the right preposition.
